An anti-racist, anti-capitalist, feminist podcast about horror movies.
We're taking on the classic 90's creature feature, Anaconda! Though we wish we could wipe Jon Voight in brown face from our collective memories, it ....kind of has to be addressed. We hope you enjoy!

This week is Jennifer's Body! There's a lot of problematic white feminism to unpack and we're ready to yap about it. Jennifer's Body is working on reclaiming a place in the queer and feminist oeuvres, but we're going to die on the hill that it sucks. Join us!

It's Abby's birthday so we'll cry about this delightful nightmare of body horror if we want to! There's plenty of isms to unpack , as well as a dramatic reading from an email exchange with a dog adoption agency. We've got something for everyone! For a special birthday gift to your favorite trash girl, go to patreon.com/spookysuccubuscast and become a Patron today (or just tell your friends and rate & review)!
Abby and Rebecca chat about trying to remain thirsty for Scott Speedman even though he plays the worst kind of toxic male romantic partner. We're talking about The Strangers (2008) and if it provides any real commentary on classism or stranger-on-stranger violence (it doesn't). patreon.com/spookysuccubuscast
Rebecca and Abby are tackling another complicated one - American Psycho. Is it an anti-capitalist triumph or misogynistic rag (or both!)? We'll uncover no answers and provide no cogent insights, but there will be laughs. patreon.com/spookysuccubuscast
This week, we're talking about genre classic Black Christmas (1974)! We're a little tardy (just wanted to keep that holiday spirit going for another day) and this episode is a masterclass in rambling, but it's a blast! We hope you enjoy Chris and his fur coat as much as we do. patreon.com/spookysuccubuscast
This week we're talking about a feel-good Christmas horror comedy that somehow hits on all the isms and phobias (classism, fatphobia & xenophobia to name a few!). We're talking Krampus, and it's a mess. patreon.com/spookysuccubuscast
We're talking about an extraordinary staple of the black femme horror/drama canon this week: Eve's Bayou. This movie is gorgeous, loaded with meaning and complex... so we are obviously the complete wrong people to be talking about it. We hope you find something cogent in there! patreon.com/spookysuccubuscast
This week we are having a rip roarin', hootin' tootin' time talking about Rob Zombie's seminal 2003 classique, House of 1000 Corpses. Rebecca is armed and dangerous with her Sheri Moon Zombie/Baby Firefly laugh and we are ready to take on American classism! For more bullshit, go to patreon.com/spookysuccubuscast
To celebrate the autumnal holiday National Day of Mourning (because Th*nksgiving is racist AF) we talk about folk horror classic, The Wicker Man! There's a lot to love about this movie, and some classic 70's soft rock for us to enjoy. For more, head to patreon.com/spookysuccubus cast
We take our first foray into drunk podcasting this week to chat about House on Haunted Hill (1959). Join us as we try to figure out why male directors rely so much on female hysteria to move their plots forward. While we don't crack the case, we have a pretty raucous time trying to!

It's a magical day, Friday the 13th! To celebrate, we are talking about the original 1980 movie, cultural appropriation, and the Madonna/Whore dichotomy. It's a horny, bloody romp! For more of our nonsense, go to patreon.com/spookysuccubuscast
We discuss Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs, a (problematic) masterpiece endorsing community care and housing equity! We also discuss incest and who we would fuck from Game of Thrones (everybody). ACAB, y'all! To hear more, go to https://www.patreon.com/spookysuccubuscast
This week, we chat about a movie deeply embedded in Rebecca's psyche, Thirteen Ghosts! There's a lot of Matthew Lillard fangirling and uninformed takes on the Zodiac. Buckle up!
This week, our hosts dive into classic Satanic cult flick, Ti West’s “The House of the Devil”. Spoiler alert: somehow in a movie with a female main character that is onscreen 95% of the time, we still have a lot of toxic masculinity to contend with. Listen to us gripe about the virgin/whore dichotomy (and more!).
Our hosts take a deep dive into Bernard Rose's 1992 film Candyman. Is it racist...?
